J. Fischer's Probing Arts and Emergent Futures. In this book, Fischer continues his investigation into artistic practices with a focus on documentary films and novels, and introduces three analytics to do so: pivots, knots, and hinges. For Fischer, "pivots" signals geopolitical spaces, like art markets and commissions, as places to think with; "knots" speak to feminist and intercultural knots in women-authored novels; and "hinges" as a counterpoint to the notion of an event, a persistent slow change that only retrospectively seems dramatic and that remains unfinished. At the Pivot of East and West draws widely from global arts with a focus on art from Singapore and Southeast Asia"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aExperimental futures. 606 $aSocial change in literature 606 $aSocial change in motion pictures 606 $aArts and society$zSoutheast Asia 606 $aAnthropology and the arts$zSoutheast Asia 606 $aSoutheast Asian literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDocumentary mass media and the arts$zSoutheast Asia 606 $aDocumentary films$zSoutheast Asia$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aSocial change in literature. 615 0$aSocial change in motion pictures. 615 0$aArts and society 615 0$aAnthropology and the arts 615 0$aSoutheast Asian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDocumentary mass media and the arts 615 0$aDocumentary films$xHistory and criticism. 700 $aFischer$b Michael M.
